There are not any real sand beaches in Hydra, only pebble ones. Some of them are Spilia, Kamini, Vlyhos. Try the organized ones, Agios Nikolaos, Mandraki and Bisti.

Having just returned from Heron Island, we can thoroughly recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy an easy few days, whilst capturing some of the most amazing natural sights. It is off the coast of Gladstone, Queensland.

Between December and March, female turtles come on the island to lay their eggs. Between January and March turtle hatchlings scramble to the sea. It is a great place to enjoy great beaches, great snorkeling and diving and nature at its most natural. Go on the free talks and walks early on and learn how to behave so that you watch but don’t interfere with the natural cycles on the island. I recommend the Beach House. It’s the most expensive accommodation, but is the most comfortable and is situated on the beach. If you get travel sick, try the helicopter, a much easier way of getting to the island, although there is a cost consideration.

Heron Island was the best part of a long trip. Highly recommended for experiences you won't forget.

This little town on a beautiful island off the coast of Salvador is a must. No cars. The taxis for luggage only are wheelbarrows.

Connected to Salvador by catamaran service or by small prop plane (max 12Kg weight limit). The beaches are fabulous. The second beach is full of bars, surfers and chilled beach goers who like to party late into the night. I'd recommend taking a pousada on the third beach. The bars along here serve excellent caipirinha at about R$2!

In the centre of town you can find food to suit all tastes and budgets along the sandy main street. Be fluid with onward travel plans - you may just add a few days to your stay here on this lovely island getaway!

If you really want to discover Ibiza, take a trip to the north and go walking around the beautiful northern coast.

Start with Portinatx where you will find lots of amazing coves with fantastic clear waters like Cala Xarraca and S'Arenal Petit, take a drive round to San Miguel where the views out onto the sea from cliff edges are really breathtaking and then drop down to the beaches around Benirass to watch the sunset. A truly wonderful day out.

The north Goan beaches are often overlooked by the idyllic beaches of south Goa but we stayed at the most gorgeous beach there. We went up to north Goa for a few days and stayed on Asvem beach which is a couple of miles away from Arambol. Asvem was gorgeously peaceful with hardly anyone on it apart from a few beach huts. It was like a secret that few had discovered. After staying in Anjuna this was a complete retreat. This was a few years ago and hopefully it is still the same. Arambol had a very chilled out vibe and not full of hedonist party goers but a lovely atmosphere. There is also a fresh water lake there.
